Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Shelbiana, KY.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Shelbiana 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 administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
