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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Reedsville who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
