Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Mount Horeb, WI.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mount Horeb 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 usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
