Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Bonnots Mill, MO.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Bonnots Mill who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
