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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Athol who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
