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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Fromberg who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
