Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Wooldridge, MO.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Wooldridge who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
