Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Shakopee, MN.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Shakopee who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
