Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Beloit, KS.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Beloit who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
