Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Powell, OH.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Powell 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
