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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Kieler who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type 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 control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
