Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Fawnskin, CA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fawnskin 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment 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 stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
