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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Poyen who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
