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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Watton who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
