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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fontana who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce 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 perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
