Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Glenmoore, PA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Glenmoore who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled 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 used 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 person can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
