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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Murdock who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
