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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Gnadenhutten who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike 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 dispensed 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 going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce 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 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 typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
