Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Ernest, PA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Ernest who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form 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 helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
