Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Herington, KS.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Herington who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
