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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Shoup who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike 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 by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
