Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Fallon, MT.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Fallon who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. 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 addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
