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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hebron 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
