Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Colome, SD.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Colome who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
