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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hustle who are opiate dependent to 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can 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 thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
