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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Rousseau who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed 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 also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
