Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Coulee Dam, WA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Coulee Dam who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce 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 formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
