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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Loretto who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
