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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Ismay who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike 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 provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce 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 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 ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
