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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Collyer who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
