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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mount Perry 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by 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 engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned 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 ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
