Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Monett, MO.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Monett who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
