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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Waldo who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived 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 typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
