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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Brandon who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
