Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - New Trier, MN.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in New Trier who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
