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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Littlefork who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
