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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Holcomb who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered 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 used 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 they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
