Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Lima, OH.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lima 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
