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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Middleburg who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
