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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Eudora who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
