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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Parkway Village who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. 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 by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
