Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Wilsondale, WV.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Wilsondale who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
