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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Morongo Valley who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
