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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Kinross 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 only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
