Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Fairmount, ND.

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

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
