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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Poplar Hills who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
