Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Nunam Iqua, AK.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Nunam Iqua 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
