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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Tiffin 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
