Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Hawk Springs, WY.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hawk Springs who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
