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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Pomeroy who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce 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 idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
