Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Dayton, MT.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Dayton who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
