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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Syracuse who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered 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 they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
