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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Sherrill who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
