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

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

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
