Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Filer City, MI.

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

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant 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 substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
