Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Bird In Hand, PA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Bird In Hand who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
