Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Minnie, KY.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Minnie 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form 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 control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
