Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - North Street, MI.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in North Street who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
