Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Nine Mile Falls, WA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Nine Mile Falls 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 dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control 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 concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
