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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mc Fall who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates 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 prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
