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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Deadwood who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like 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 in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity 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 piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
