Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Banning, CA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Banning who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived 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 rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
