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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Wildrose who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered 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 reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
