Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Lake Delton, WI.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lake Delton who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
