Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Belcher, KY.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Belcher who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier 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 associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
