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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Kabetogama 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 usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
