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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lindsey 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can 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 individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
