Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Cazenovia, WI.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cazenovia who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
