Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Montezuma Creek, UT.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Montezuma Creek who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended 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 recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
