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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Glenwood 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized 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 typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
