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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Roslyn 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 usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
