Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Calvin, PA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Calvin who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
