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

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

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
