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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Milford who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike 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 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
