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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Cole Camp who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike 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 administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
