Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Eden, AZ.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Eden who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
