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

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

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
