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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mayer who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
