Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Versailles, MO.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Versailles who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful 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 "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
