Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Waldron, MO.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Waldron 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
