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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Shoshoni who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type 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 control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
