Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Jenkins, MN.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Jenkins who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings 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 as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
