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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mona who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea 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 ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
