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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sinks Grove 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 usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
