Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Dillonvale, OH.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Dillonvale 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can 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" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
