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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Napoleon who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
