Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Hurstbourne Acres, KY.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hurstbourne Acres who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea 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 incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
