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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mount Clare who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps 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 formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
