Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Beaumont, KS.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Beaumont who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery 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 the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage 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 stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
