Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - New Blaine, AR.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in New Blaine who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
