Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - East Stroudsburg, PA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in East Stroudsburg who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike 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 administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about 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 method they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
