Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Cloverdale, MI.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cloverdale who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of 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 control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
