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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Carlton who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency 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 opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
