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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Twin Brooks who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual 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 implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
