Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Black Lick, PA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Black Lick 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 only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
