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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Raytown who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
