Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Beeson, WV.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Beeson 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 only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical 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 "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
