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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Volga who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
