Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Sonoita, AZ.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sonoita who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like 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 by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate 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 helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
