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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Harbor City who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type 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 control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
