Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Agra, KS.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Agra who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. 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 in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage 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 envisioned 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 part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
