Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Wilson, KS.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Wilson who are opiate dependent to 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 can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
