Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Coal Run, OH.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Coal Run who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
