Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Wilkeson, WA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Wilkeson who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
