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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Pindall 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are 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 person can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
