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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Wittenberg who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical 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" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
