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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Freeburg 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
