Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Sandgap, KY.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sandgap who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
