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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Grawn who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, 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 opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
