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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Epping who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
