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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Palermo who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
