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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lyle who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control 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 concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
