Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Ramsay, MT.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Ramsay 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
