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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Duenweg who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
