Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - North Jackson, OH.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in North Jackson who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
