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

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

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
