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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Grassy Butte who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
