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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Nickerson who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
