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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Clothier who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
