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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Goodrich who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized 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 the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
