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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Townsend who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
