Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Shageluk, AK.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Shageluk who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
