Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Sauk Centre, MN.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Sauk Centre who are opiate dependent to 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 administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
