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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Basin who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
