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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mancelona who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
