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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Marquand who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
