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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Deering who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can 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 "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
