Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Emmett, ID.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Emmett who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
