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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in War who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
