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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Jessie who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike 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 supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized 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 ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
