Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Strasburg, OH.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Strasburg 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
