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

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

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
