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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Holcombe who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
