Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Flint Hill, VA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Flint Hill who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual 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 formed 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 include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
