Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Oneida, KY.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Oneida who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
