Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Sheldon, WI.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Sheldon who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
