Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Michigan City, MS.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Michigan City who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
