Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Wiseman, AR.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Wiseman who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant 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 recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
