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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Rector who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
