Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Goodells, MI.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Goodells who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
