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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Deary who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered 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 going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce 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 recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
