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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mount Morris who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
