Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Little Hocking, OH.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Little Hocking 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 usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate 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 control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
