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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Holbrook who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
