Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Bettles Field, AK.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Bettles Field who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
