Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Arbon, ID.

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

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
