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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Nunda who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
