Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Crowheart, WY.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Crowheart who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
