Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Lemoyne, OH.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lemoyne who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause 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 professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
