Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Muskego, WI.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Muskego 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 usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
