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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Marionville who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
