Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Kendrick, ID.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Kendrick who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier 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 works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
