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

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

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
