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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mayville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
