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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Forbes 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies 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 associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
