Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Random Lake, WI.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Random Lake who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
