Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Bloomfield Hills who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived 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. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
