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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Galata who are opiate dependent to 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 can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps 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 concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
