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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fredonia who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized 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 diminish 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 envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
