Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Arkansaw, WI.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Arkansaw who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
