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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mulvane who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. 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 administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
