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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Onsted 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 only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
