Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Mina, NV.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mina who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are 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 focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
