Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Big Bend, WV.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Big Bend 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
