Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Malmo, NE.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Malmo who are dependent to opoids such as 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 may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
