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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mokane 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
