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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Quinwood 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
