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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Venedocia who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
