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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Spring Grove who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they 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 put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
