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

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

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
