Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Alburtis, PA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Alburtis who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
