Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Dayton, OR.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Dayton 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish 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 concept was first conceived 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 also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
