Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Onancock, VA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Onancock who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered 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 minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned 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 rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
