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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Howells who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with 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 associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
