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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Marsing who are opiate dependent to 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 may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
