Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Sun River, MT.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Sun River who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
