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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Nicollet who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
