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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Winchester who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
