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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hughes 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 usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
