Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Silver Gate, MT.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Silver Gate who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
