Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Ceresco, NE.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Ceresco who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to 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 administered in doctor's offices which gives easier 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 works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
