Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Waikoloa, HI.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Waikoloa 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
