Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Iron Junction, MN.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Iron Junction who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
