Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - White Bird, ID.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in White Bird 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful 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 multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
