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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Cottleville who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed 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 incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
