Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Minden, WV.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Minden who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed 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 someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
