Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Warm River, ID.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Warm River who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with 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 control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
