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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Seabeck who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. 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 in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
