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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Niagara who are opiate dependent to 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 can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
