Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Sandy Hook, KY.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Sandy Hook 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
