Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Abercrombie, ND.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Abercrombie who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured 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 treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
