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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Offerle who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike 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 easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
