Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - New Holland, SD.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in New Holland who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are 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 easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
