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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Chicora who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
