Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Biscay, MN.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Biscay who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed 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 administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing 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 stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
