Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Buena, WA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Buena who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides 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 works to manage and minimize 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 concept was first formed 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 opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
