Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Lewis Center, OH.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lewis Center 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 usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
