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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Pleasanton who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction 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.
