Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Kanopolis, KS.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Kanopolis who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are 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 as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
