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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Caputa 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived 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 ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
