Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Antes Fort, PA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Antes Fort who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
