Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Fort Harrison, MT.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fort Harrison 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 only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate 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 helps to control 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 put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
