Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Cartwright, ND.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Cartwright who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
