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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Beverly who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
