Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Wise River, MT.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Wise River who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
