Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Dayton, NV.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Dayton 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause 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 plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
