Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Sinclair, WY.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Sinclair who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
