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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Orlando who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
