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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Olmitz who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies 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 withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
