Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - West Mansfield, OH.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in West Mansfield 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
