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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Malta 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
