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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Bel Aire who are opiate dependent to 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 administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
