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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Sparta who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful 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 "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
