Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Kennedy, MN.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Kennedy 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing 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 and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
