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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sulphur Springs who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
