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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Seneca who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned 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 involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
