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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Grantsburg who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
