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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Manchester who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may 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 going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
