Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Au Train, MI.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Au Train who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
