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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Randolph who are dependent to opoids such as 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 dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
