Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Carefree, AZ.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Carefree who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
