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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Gobles who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
