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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Solen who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
