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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Belgium 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 usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
