Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Homer, MI.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Homer who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like 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 administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
