Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Raymond, NE.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Raymond who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
