Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Brokaw, WI.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Brokaw who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
