Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Barnesville, MN.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Barnesville who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
