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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Roberts who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered 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 minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
