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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Prairie Home 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered 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 minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
