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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Weidman 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 may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier 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 associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
