Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Kanosh, UT.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Kanosh who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to 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 by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
