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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Freeport who are dependent to opoids such as 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 can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
