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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Center City who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual 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 envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
