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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Beaverdam who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and 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 meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
