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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Taylor who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered 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 the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
