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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Sumner who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity 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 piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
