Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Bowdon, ND.

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

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
