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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Oran who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may 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 someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
