Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Frakes, KY.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Frakes 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 usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept 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" approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
