Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Bern, ID.

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

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
