Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Pompeii, MI.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Pompeii who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
