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

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

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
