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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Warbranch who are opiate dependent to 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 in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through 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 and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
