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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Netawaka who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful 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 multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
