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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Miles City who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to 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 provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, 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 rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
