Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Bisbee, AZ.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Bisbee who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce 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 idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant 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 part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
