Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Blunt, SD.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Blunt who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
