Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Port Haywood, VA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Port Haywood 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 usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived 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 typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
