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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Rawson who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
