Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Moran, KS.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Moran who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
