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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Gray who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
