Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Parkerville, KS.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Parkerville 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can 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 treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
