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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Forsyth who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
