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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Liberty 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control 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 realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
