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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fairlawn who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
