Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Timken, KS.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Timken who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment 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 stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
