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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Dodgeville 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 only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part 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 choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
