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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Coldwater who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
