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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Rockford 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
