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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Radersburg who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
