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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Jeffersonton who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to 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 in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by 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 carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
