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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Ravenden 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
