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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fairdale who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
