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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Chatfield who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
