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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Vancouver who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
