Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Bagley, MN.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Bagley 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
