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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cashton 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce 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 put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
