Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Swan Valley, ID.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Swan Valley who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox 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 stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
