Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Wildwood, PA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Wildwood 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 only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
