Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Lime Ridge, WI.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lime Ridge who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
