Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Scott, AR.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Scott who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and 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 multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
