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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Byron who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of 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 manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they 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 intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
