Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Sekiu, WA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Sekiu who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
