Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Ary, KY.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Ary who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered 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 withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
