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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Clear Creek who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
