Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Palmyra, VA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Palmyra who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized 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 typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
