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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Edwardsburg 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 usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
