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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Shoshone 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors 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 works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
