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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Goff who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
