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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Powers who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce 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 idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
