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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Adah who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
