Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Parma, ID.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Parma who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
