Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Troy, OH.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Troy who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike 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 in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
