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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Dayton who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies 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 withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
