Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Perry Park, KY.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Perry Park who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like 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 provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
