Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Teec Nos Pos, AZ.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Teec Nos Pos who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize 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 realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
