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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Danville who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike 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 administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
