Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Asbury, WV.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Asbury who are dependent to opoids such as 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 provides more people with access to this form 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 works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly 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 professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
