Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Dalton, WI.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Dalton 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 only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment 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 part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
