Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Kenmare, ND.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Kenmare 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 usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
