Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Fairfield, WA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fairfield who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
