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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Warnock who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to 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 gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
