Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Shade, OH.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Shade who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
