Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Bynum, MT.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Bynum who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
