Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Trinity Center, CA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Trinity Center who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful 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 "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
