Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - South Solon, OH.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in South Solon who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through 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 and not participate in typical 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" approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
