Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Lake Mc Donald, MT.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lake Mc Donald who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
