Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Bellflower, MO.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Bellflower who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
