Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Farmington, MO.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Farmington 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 can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
