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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Moscow who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
