Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Nisula, MI.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Nisula who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
