Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Achilles, VA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Achilles 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 usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives 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 withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized 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 rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
