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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Plainville who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through 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 harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment 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 comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
