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

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

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
