Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Mayfield, MI.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mayfield who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
