Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Donnelly, ID.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Donnelly 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 only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
