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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Beresford who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with 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 diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned 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 also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
