Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Sharples, WV.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Sharples who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
