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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Steele who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful 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 "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
