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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Alverton who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate 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 diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
