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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Point Baker who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of 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 they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
