Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Gould City, MI.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Gould City 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 only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
