Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Columbia Falls, MT.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Columbia Falls 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
