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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Toronto 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
