Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Oak Grove, AR.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Oak Grove who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
