Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Cottageville, WV.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cottageville 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings 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 concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
