Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Council Grove, KS.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Council Grove 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 only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
