Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Purgitsville, WV.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Purgitsville 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
