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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lookout who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
