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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Gilboa 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
