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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lupton who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful 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 typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
