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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Woodburn who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
