Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - San Andreas, CA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in San Andreas who are opiate dependent to 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 in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
