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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Halstead who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered 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 minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
