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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Idamay who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type 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 carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
