Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Kingdom City, MO.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Kingdom City 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed 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 ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
