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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Tendoy who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate 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 participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
