Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Midkiff, WV.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Midkiff who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
