Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Forest Grove, MT.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Forest Grove who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized 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 they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
