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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Bagley who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier 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 helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
