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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cosmos who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out 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" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
