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

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

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
