Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - South Wayne, WI.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in South Wayne who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
