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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Eveleth who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. 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 administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
