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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Chagrin Falls who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors 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 associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
