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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in East Waterford who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
