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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Menomonee Falls who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
