Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Bingen, WA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Bingen who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
