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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Castleford who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
