Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Sheridan, AR.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sheridan who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is 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 focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
