Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Indian River, MI.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Indian River who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
