Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Sparta, MO.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Sparta who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can 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 treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
