Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Adams, WI.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Adams who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
