Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Vining, MN.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Vining who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
