Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Rogers, OH.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Rogers 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can 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 treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
