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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cheriton 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
