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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Raysal who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
