Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Centuria, WI.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Centuria 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 can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
