Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Wilson, MI.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Wilson 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 only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
