Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Adel, OR.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Adel who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier 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 helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person 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 perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
