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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Pickett 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
