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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Havana who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
