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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Teton Village who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
