Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Trenary, MI.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Trenary who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
