Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Arch Cape, OR.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Arch Cape who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
