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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Kenvir who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
