Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Fort Gratiot, MI.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fort Gratiot 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 only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
