Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Reva, SD.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Reva who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
