Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Tempe, AZ.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Tempe 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
