Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Sagola, MI.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Sagola who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with 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 helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
