Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Franklin, AR.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Franklin who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce 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 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 involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
