Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - New Boston, MI.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in New Boston who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. 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 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 cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
