Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Lothair, MT.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lothair who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type 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 control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
