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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Ewing who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
