Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Leonard, MN.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Leonard who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed 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 used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
