Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Windham, OH.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Windham who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce 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 idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
