Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Beloit, OH.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Beloit 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
