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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Leadore who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
