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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Rich Hill who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
