Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Ahsahka, ID.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Ahsahka who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to 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 in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment 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 focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
