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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Tallmadge who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed 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 recovery it can help someone who is 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 perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
