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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Courtland 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 can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly 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 receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
