Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Fruitland, ID.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Fruitland who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
