Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - St. Stephens Church, VA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in St. Stephens Church who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
