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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Webster Springs who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical 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 "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce 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 method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
