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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Stevensville who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
