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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in East China who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
