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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Blissfield 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
