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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sparta who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
