Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Weippe, ID.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Weippe who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
