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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Baisden who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed 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 utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
