Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Morral, OH.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Morral 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 administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person 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 conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
