Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Villard, MN.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Villard who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity 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 component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
