Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Talent, OR.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Talent who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to 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 gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used 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 diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
