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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sumerco who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive 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 thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
