Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Silver Creek, MN.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Silver Creek who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
