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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Essex who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
