Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Lone, KY.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lone who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
