Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Wilton, CA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Wilton 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 only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
