Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Allen Park, MI.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Allen Park who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
