Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Bellefonte, PA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Bellefonte 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 usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
