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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Crouch who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can 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 method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
