Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Lemhi, ID.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lemhi who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
