Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Gold Bar, WA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Gold Bar 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 only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
