Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Park City, MT.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Park City who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out 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 include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
