Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Virgil, KS.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Virgil who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
