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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Stockbridge who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
