Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Ten Broeck, KY.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Ten Broeck who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
