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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Warm Springs who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce 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 idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
