Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Eagle Butte, SD.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Eagle Butte who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
