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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Garrison who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
