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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hamer who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
