Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Paris, AR.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Paris who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
