Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Brier Hill, PA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Brier Hill 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing 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 highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
