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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Snover who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with 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 minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
