Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Waneta, KY.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Waneta 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 usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
