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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Shawnee who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
