Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Orangeville, OH.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Orangeville who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
