Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Glen Hope, PA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Glen Hope who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are 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 harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
