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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Bellbrook 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
