Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Climax, MI.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Climax 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish 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 formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
