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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Wilberforce who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned 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 ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
