Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Randle, WA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Randle who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant 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 part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
