Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Castella, CA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Castella 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 may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
