Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Nooksack, WA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Nooksack who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of 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 works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
