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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sidney 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
