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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Gascoyne who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
