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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Glen Mills who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered 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 diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
