Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Grosse Pointe Woods 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
