Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Elk River, MN.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Elk River 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized 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 diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
