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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Quenemo who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out typical 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 multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
