Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Quaker City, OH.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Quaker City who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage 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 realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
