Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Martell, CA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Martell who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
