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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Clermont who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
