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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Deerton 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 can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery 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 the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
