Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Adair Village, OR.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Adair Village who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized 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 also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
