Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Mazomanie, WI.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mazomanie who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
