Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Cooperstown, PA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cooperstown who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to 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 provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
