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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Vienna who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
