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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Picabo who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to 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 in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used 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 the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
