Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Boyd, MT.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Boyd 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
