Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Banner, WY.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Banner 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form 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 works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
