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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Disputanta 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
