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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Glen Elder who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
