Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Fort Loramie, OH.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fort Loramie who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
