Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Boulder Junction, WI.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Boulder Junction who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. 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 administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
