Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Belspring, VA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Belspring who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful 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 include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
