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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Simms who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
