Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Startup, WA.

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

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
