Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Moose Pass, AK.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Moose Pass 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 can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
