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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Ruso who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
