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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Goose Rock who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
