Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Grafton, ND.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Grafton 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
