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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Blackfoot who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
