Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Glendo, WY.

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

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of 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 treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
