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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Manawa who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with 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 concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
