Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Perrinton, MI.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Perrinton who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
