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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Fredonia 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
