Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Mount Crawford, VA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mount Crawford 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 only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
