Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Union Pier, MI.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Union Pier 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, 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 substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
