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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Church Road who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
