Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - O Fallon, MO.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in O Fallon who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
