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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Norwich who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with 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 reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
