Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Leslie, MI.

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

When Buprenorphine is used 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 they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
