Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Aberdeen, SD.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Aberdeen who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
