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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Winslow who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
