Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Pedro Bay, AK.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Pedro Bay 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox 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 stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
