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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hathaway who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
