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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Savage who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through 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 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 stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
