Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Chiloquin, OR.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Chiloquin who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
