Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Glendale Luke AFB, AZ.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Glendale Luke AFB 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize 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 realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
