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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Franklin who are dependent to opoids such as 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 may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
