Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Crystal Falls, MI.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Crystal Falls who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
