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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Taylor who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. 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 supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
