Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Wyndmere, ND.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Wyndmere who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
