Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Glenville, WV.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Glenville who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant 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 piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
