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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Ionia who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
