Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Hunters Hollow, KY.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hunters Hollow who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
