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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hancock who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
