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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Quicksburg 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 usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can 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 individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
