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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Rio Verde who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
