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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in New Holland who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
