Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Bergoo, WV.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Bergoo who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
