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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Cassville 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form 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 helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
