Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Allendale, MO.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Allendale who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
