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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hessel who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
