Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Bloomington, CA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Bloomington 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox 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 intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
