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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Rio 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 can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
