Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Warwick, ND.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Warwick 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 may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control 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 put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
