Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - St. Nazianz, WI.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in St. Nazianz 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 only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
