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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cima who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage 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 formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
