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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Pettigrew who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
