Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - South Park View, KY.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in South Park View who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
