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

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

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
