Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Coarsegold, CA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Coarsegold 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived 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 rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
