Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Tiller, OR.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Tiller who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can 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 multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
