Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Jeffrey City, WY.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Jeffrey City who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like 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 administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
