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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Macks Inn 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically 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 cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
