Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Benedict, MN.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Benedict who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
