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

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

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
