Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Medimont, ID.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Medimont 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 only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
