Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Ark, VA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Ark who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
