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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Peach Creek who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
