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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Palisade who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
