Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Blackwell, MO.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Blackwell who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another 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 professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
