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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Woolwine 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
