Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Richfield, ID.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Richfield who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors 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 control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus 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 primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
