Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Ekwok, AK.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Ekwok who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
