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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Westphalia 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 usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted 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 will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
