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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mousie who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity 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 part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
