Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Turners Station, KY.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Turners Station 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 can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
