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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in La Farge who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
