Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Packwaukee, WI.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Packwaukee who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
