Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Wauwatosa, WI.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Wauwatosa 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 usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
