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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Viburnum who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
