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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Valley Bend 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
