Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Gibbon Glade, PA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Gibbon Glade who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce 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 idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
