Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Genoa, OH.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Genoa 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
