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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Wakefield who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
