Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Mullan, ID.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mullan 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 usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
