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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Latham who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize 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 formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
